Each bedroom features its own private vanity and toilet, joined by a shared central shower, while walk-through closets create a functional, suite-style experience that blends privacy with convenience. The entire third floor is dedicated to the primary suite — a true retreat. The spa-inspired bathroom features dual vanities, a deep soaking tub with jacuzzi jets, and a large walk-in shower. A spacious walk-in closet completes the suite. From this level, step out to the private rooftop deck — the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset views, or entertaining under the city skyline.
